This thread has got some truly funny twists in it, doesn't it? Over a comic book movie.....Yes, crazies have crazy ideas. Who knew?
Yeah, crazies like Bill Gates, the Rockefellers and Buffett. Do a bit of reading so you're not so ignorant.

Gates, the Rockefellers, and Buffet aren't planning on the extinction of humans, you silly goober. And you wonder why people say right wingers are insane.

That's the core of the problem that rich Western environmentalists have with the developing world - they are afraid that Issac and his fellow poor people will aspire to live the way they do. Issac's children and grandchildren will want bigger houses, private automobiles, university educations, computers, refrigerators, air-conditioning, restaurant meals, imported foods, and trips abroad. In the lexicon of ideological environmentalists this is called "overconsumption."
To prevent the spread of "overconsumption" the Greens at the Summit in Johannesburg want to mandate measures that would "protect the livelihoods" of people like Issac's cattle-raising father. Essentially, the goal is to stop poor people like Issac from moving to the city and driving taxis or doing other work. These rich country environmentalists
"Sustainable development is setting the necessary social and ecological limits to economic growth," he declared. In other words, poor people like Issac and his children
should not aspire to the opportunities and wealth enjoyed by the citizens of developed

At issue is how the EU and the environmentalists define the term "renewable." To understand how radical the environmentalists' proposal is, consider that today only two percent of the world's primary energy is produced by renewables that ideological environmentalists would regard as acceptable — among them wind, solar, geothermal and small hydropower. The Europeans on the other hand would count as renewables such already-existing sources as large hydropower and traditional biomass. "Traditional
biomass" is a term that encompasses everything from collected wood to cow dung.
Large hydropower includes projects like India's much-loathed Narmada Dam and China's equally execrated Three Gorges Dam.
Conveniently, the Euro plan requires little heavy lifting. Morgan points out that, using the
EU definition, fourteen percent of the world's primary energy is already supplied by
renewables; in effect the EU is calling for a mere one-percent increase in the portion of
primary energy supplied by renewables by 2015. European diplomats have practiced
this sort of continental guile since the days of Rochefoucauld. Less crafty United States
negotiators would simply prefer to dump any timetables and targets for renewable energy.
IOWs --- don't send microloans, tractors, power stations, general aid and trade. Send them windmills and solar panels so that their economies will NEVER develop beyond the Earth's capacity to shelter these hoards. Forbid them the consumption and waste and conveniences of developed countries. And underneath all of that is let them suffer at marginal poverty so that their birthrate is neutralized.
That's getting into tinfoil hat territory, isn't it? When a hateful RWNJ tells poor folks they shouldn't have kids unless they can afford them, is that advocating eugenics? According to your logic, it is.![]()

So you had no idea what International Sustainable Development really meant huh? Sorry for your gleeful ignorance where you think that analyzing fiction for academic reasons related to politics and culture is just "a conspiracy theory". It's a conspiracy theory that has been on EVERY campus for decades..

That's a SAD kind of funny that you think that way..
And what about your CNN hero Ted Turner asserting the way to save the planet from GW is POPULATION CONTROL??? Just like in the OP of this thread? No comment from you huh?
Fiction always mirrors political/cultural ideas and plays them out in ways that folks can understand. Go take a couple college level courses in it and SEE if it's all "just a funny conspiracy theory"...![]()
In the movie Thanos believed the universe has gotten too over populated (sound familiar leftists) and people use up the resources and destroy the environment. As a humanitarian and for the greater good, he will take it upon himself to kill off half the universe’s population. The people must pay the price for the environment. Sound familiar lefties? Surprised a Hollywood movie used such symbolism.
So question to the leftists, since Thanos is a liberal promoting your agenda, are you going to root for him in the movie?

Conservatives are ultra-triggered by movies, even the ones based entirely on fiction. Conspiracies are seen everywhere where they don't exist.
Paranoia is the term for this.

Of course you are correct about political themes in films.
This from the Russo Bros., the directors of the film, interview:
“My brother and I are politically minded guys. We’re all impacted by what’s going on every day in the world. Heroes are a way to remove yourself from what may be difficult concepts to talk about in your life. They’re a way to get some distance and have an experience in a theater where you’re confronting those issues in a way that’s safer for your psyche.”
The Russo Brothers Talk Politics, Captain America, And The Avengers
Those dopes who poo-poo's the idea that there is a political meaning in the film,....perhaps they see exactly what we saw, but fear admitting it as per its effect on their worldview.
Thanos....evil.....and so is Liberalism.

The Grapes of Wrath is a book about the very real events caused by the dust bowl. Our history books verify it really happened. When you can show me something saying a real effort to kill off half the universe and claiming humanitarian reasons, we can talk. Until then, you're just another nut.

i.e. Thanos is a symbol for globalist elites and their motivations. While they might believe they have good intentions, the product of those intentions ends up being the destruction of life and freedom.

I'm obviously not talking about the comic book version.
If we look at the movie adaptation of Black Panther, we can see a bunch of progressive political agenda in that movie as well.
We don't look at source material for the agenda in the modern propaganda, that would be foolish and unconstructive.
It would also be a foolish act of ultimate denial to refuse to look at the propaganda implicit in these movies.
My kid as been a HUGE fan of these movies forever. But even HE KNOWS these flicks all have an implicit propaganda message of one sort or another.
Shit, that recent one, they even changed the sex of the main character. I am sure you are smart enough to know what THAT was all about. Hell, Hollyweird probably had that planned even before the 2016 election. All sorts of things were planned. This was supposed to be the administration of the woman. All sorts of movies have a SJW theme, and yet, wrong administration. The propaganda doesn't quite match the regime, there is a mismatch here.
The original Iron Man and Capt. America flicks, like the Transformers movies, are just huge, bloated PR movies for the US armed forces. They are, in essence, giant recruiting tools. Anyone that can't figure THAT out, is liable to graduate from High School and enlist.
NONE of it has to do with the original source material, the movies, like the Doc said, are made to make money, and, further, to influence public opinion. It is, in the final analysis, sophisticated propaganda.
